l-i  General  Information 


GENERAL     IN  FORMATION 


History 

Mount  St.  Mary's  College  was  empowered  in  1925  by  the  charter  of  founda- 
tion granted  by  the  State  of  California  to  confer  such  degrees  in  the  arts  and 
sciences  as  are  usually  conferred  by  colleges  in  the  United  States.  Since  1931  the 
Department  of  Music  has  granted  the  degree  of  Master  of  Music.  In  1954  the 
Department  of  Education,  and  in  1957  the  Department  of  History  were  authorized 
by  the  Board  of  Trustees  to  offer  the  master's  degree. 

In  order  to  coordinate  the  graduate  programs  in  the  various  departments,  the 
Graduate  School  was  officially  established  by  the  Board  of  Trustees  under  the 
administration  of  the  Dean  of  the  Graduate  School  and  the  Graduate  Council.  The 
advanced  degrees  offered  at  present  by  Mount  St.  Mary's  College  are  the  Master 
of  Arts  in  Education,  History  and  Music,  and  the  Master  of  Music. 

Since  1929  Mount  St.  Mary's  College  has  been  authorized  by  the  California 
State  Department  of  Education  to  give  the  requisite  preparation  and  to  recommend 
students  for  elementary  and  secondary  teaching  credentials. 

Objectives 

The  Graduate  School  of  Mount  St.  Mary's  College  extends  and  deepens  the 
work  of  the  undergraduate  departments  by  offering  to  qualified  men  and  women 
the  opportunity  to  pursue  advanced  courses  and  to  obtain  training  in  research.  Its 
chief  purpose  is  to  prepare  graduate  students  for  an  effective  career  as  productive 
scholars. 

It  is  the  aim  of  the  Graduate  School,  in  harmony  with  the  general  objectives 
of  the  College,  to  afford  such  students  an  opportunity  to  acquire  that  knowledge 
which  embraces  the  personal  possession  of  truth  that  they  may  advance  knowledge 
in  their  field  of  specialization  and  be  better  equipped  to  transmit  it  to  others. 

Organization 

The  Graduate  School  is  organized  as  an  integral  division  under  the  adminis- 
tration of  the  Dean  of  the  Graduate  School  and  the  Graduate  Council  appointed 
by  the  President.  The  Dean  is  the  chairman  of  the  Council. 

The  Graduate  Council  has  general  supervision  over  the  rules  and  regulations 
of  the  College  regarding  the  administration  of  graduate  work  and  advanced  de- 
grees. It  prescribes  the  qualifications  of  all  professors  who  offer  graduate  work  and 
approves  all  courses  taken  for  graduate  credit. 

The  faculty  of  the  Graduate  School  is  drawn  from  the  faculty  of  the  College 
and  includes  those  who  are  authorized  by  the  Graduate  Council  to  offer  courses 
for  graduate  credit. 


Scholastic  Regulations  15 


Fields     of     Graduate     Study 

The  Graduate  School  offers  work  leading  to  the  degree  of  Master  of  Arts  in 
Education,  History,  and  Music.  It  also  grants  the  degree  of  Master  of  Music. 

Work  for  the  minor  field  may  be  taken  in  any  of  the  areas  represented  among 
the  cooperating  departments. 

The  Department  of  Education  offers  courses  which  qualify  the  student  for 
recommendation  for  the  general  secondary  credential  in  the  following  fields  as 
they  are  interpreted  by  the  California  State  Department  of  Education:  social 
studies,  life  sciences  and  general  science,  physical  sciences  and  general  science,  Eng- 
lish, foreign  languages,  mathematics  and  music. 


Coeducation 

The  Graduate  School  is  open  to  qualified  men  and  women  during  the  regular 
terms  as  well  as  during  the  summer  session. 


SCHOLASTIC     REGULATIONS 

Classification     of     Students 

Classified  status:  students  who  have  satisfied  all  admission  requirements  and 
have  begun  a  definite  program  of  study  for  the  master's  degree. 

Credential  status:  students  with  a  bachelor's  degree  who  are  candidates  for 
teaching  credentials. 

•  Unclassified  status:  students  who  are  taking  courses  without  having  an  ad- 
vanced degree  or  credential  objective,  or  whose  undergraduate  preparation  has 
been  judged  insufficient  for  admission  to  classified  status. 

Provisional  status:  students  whose  admission  material  is  incomplete  at  the 
time  of  registration. 

Auditors:  students  who,  with  the  permission  of  the  Dean  of  the  Graduate 
School  and  of  the  department  concerned,  are  permitted  to  attend  graduate  courses 
without  credit.  No  credit  will  be  subsequently  granted  for  courses  taken  in  auditor 
status. 

Full-time:  students  who  devote  their  entire  time  to  graduate  study  whether 
in  course  work  or  in  preparation  of  their  thesis.  The  actual  number  of  hours  in 
class  work  does  not  affect  this  classification. 

Part-time:  students  who  are  teaching  or  working  part  of  the  day.  Their  pro- 
gram is  ordinarily  limited  to  six  hours  per  semester. 


16  Scholastic  Regulations 


Admission 

Classified  status:  An  applicant  for  admission  to  the  master's  program  must 
possess  a  bachelor's  degree  or  its  equivalent  from  an  accredited  college  or  univer- 
sity. The  student's  previous  academic  record  must  give  evidence  of  the  ability  and 
preparation  necessary  for  successfully  pursuing  graduate  study.  In  general,  the 
minimum  requirement  for  admission  to  classified  status  is  a  2.0  (B)  grade  point 
average  in  the  upper  division  courses  of  a  student's  undergraduate  work. 

In  the  event  that  the  applicant's  undergraduate  record  does  not  include  all 
the  requisite  courses  or  a  satisfactory  average,  he  may  be  obliged  to  take  supple- 
mentary undergraduate  work  to  fulfill  the  prerequisites  of  his  major  department. 
This  demand  for  additional  prerequisites  should  not  be  interpreted  as  prejudicial 
to  the  college  previously  attended  by  the  applicant. 

Admission  to  classified  status  is  granted  by  the  Graduate  Council.  The  ap- 
plicant's registration  is  provisional  and  the  determination  of  his  status  is  tentative 
until  the  formal  approval  of  the  Council  is  given.  Each  applicant  is  notified  as 
soon  as  possible  whether  his  application  has  been  accepted  or  rejected. 

Admission  to  the  Graduate  School  does  not  constitute  advancement  to  can- 
didacy for  the  master's  degree. 

"Procedure  for  application  to  classified  status:  Early  in  the  semester  before 
he  plans  to  begin  his  graduate  work,  the  applicant  should  request  the  necessary 
admission  material  from  the  Dean  of  the  Graduate  School.  These  forms  should 
be  filled  out  and  returned  at  least  one  month  before  the  registration  date. 

The  applicant  should  arrange  to  have  two  official  copies  of  his  transcript 
of  record  of  all  undergraduate  work  and  of  any  graduate  work  sent  directly  to 
the  Dean  of  the  Graduate  School. 

Three  letters  of  recommendation  are  required  from  college  instructors  and/or 
school  administrators  who  have  had  ample  opportunity  to  judge  the  applicant's 
academic  qualifications. 

If  distance  permits,  the  applicant  should  arrange  for  a  personal  interview  with 
the  Dean  of  the  Graduate  School  and  with  the  major  department. 

Credential  status:  A  student  who  holds  a  bachelor's  degree  from  an  accredited 
college  or  university  and  who  fulfills  the  Department  of  Education  requirements 
is  eligible  for  admission  to  credential  status. 

The  applicant  should  fill  out  an  Admission  Form  for  credential  status,  and 
file  it  in  the  Graduate  Office. 

Unclassified  status:  Students  who  hold  a  bachelor's  degree  from  an  accredited 
college  or  university  are  eligible  for  admission  to  unclassified  status.  They  may 
take  either  undergraduate  courses  in  subjects  of  their  special  interest  or  graduate 
courses  for  which  they  are  qualified. 


Scholastic  Regulations  17 


The  applicants  should  fill  out  an  Admission  Form  for  unclassified  status  and 
file  it  in  the  Graduate  Office. 

Unclassified  students  are  expected  to  conform  to  the  prevailing  standards 
of  scholarship  and  attendance.  If  an  unclassified  student  should  later  alter  his 
decision  and  become  an  applicant  for  a  degree,  only  six  semester  hours  completed 
in  unclassified  status  will  be  accepted  toward  an  advanced  degree,  and  these  only 
in  the  event  that  they  are  acceptable  to  the  major  department. 

Auditors:  Students  who  hold  a  bachelor's  degree  may,  with  the  permission 
of  the  Dean  of  the  Graduate  School  and  of  the  department  concerned,  attend 
courses  graduate  seminars  excepted)  without  credit. 

The  student  should  fill  out  an  Application  Form  for  auditors  and  file  it  in 
the  Graduate  Office. 

The  charge  for  auditing  courses  is  the  same  as  for  courses  taken  for  credit, 
except  in  the  event  that  a  department  requires  a  student  to  audit  a  course  as  part 
of  a  review  program,  in  which  case  no  fee  is  charged. 

Academic  credit  is  not  subsequently  given  for  courses  taken  as  an  auditor. 


Seniors     and     Graduate     Study 

Seniors  of  satisfactory  academic  standing  who  are  within  six  semester  hours* 
of  completing  the  requirements  for  the  bachelor's  degree  may,  with  the  approval 
of  the  Dean  of  the  College  and  the  Dean  of  the  Graduate  School,  register  for 
graduate  work.  The  maximum  amount  of  graduate  credit  thus  earned  shall  not 
exceed  six  hours. 


Registration 

All  students  possessing  a  bachelor's  degree  or  its  equivalent  register  in  the 
Graduate  School.  They  should  report  in  person  at  the  Graduate  Office  during  the 
registration  period  for  registration  blanks  and  course  schedules. 

The  program  of  courses  for  the  master's  degree  will  be  planned  by  the  pro- 
fessor in  charge  of  graduate  studies  in  the  proposed  major  and  minor  fields. 

Credential  and  unclassified  students  should,  after  obtaining  registration  mate- 
rials, consult  with  departmental  advisers  and  obtain  approval  for  their  program 
of  study. 

All  candidates  for  the  master's  degree,  whether  engaged  in  course  work  or 
completing  a  thesis,  are  required  to  register  each  semester  until  the  degree  is 
granted. 

Late  Registration.  Those  students  who  register  after  the  close  of  the  registra- 
tion period  are  subject  to  an  additional  registration  fee  of  $2.00. 

*A  semester  hour  means  one  hour  of  class  work  per  week  pursued  for  a  period  of  one 
semester.  One  and  a  half  hours  of  laboratory  work  are  rated  as  equivalent  to  one  hour  of 
class  work. 


18  Scholastic  Regulations 


Change  of  Program.  All  changes  in  courses  or  withdrawals  from  courses 
must  be  made  in  the  Graduate  Office.  No  change  or  withdrawal  may  be  made 
after  the  second  week  of  each  semester  or  the  first  week  of  the  summer  session. 

Credit     Limit     and     Grades 

A  graduate  student  in  a  regular  semester  is  limited  to  sixteen  semester  hours 
when  he  takes  only  upper  division  courses,  to  twelve  semester  hours  when  he  takes 
only  graduate  courses,  and  to  a  total  made  up  in  the  proper  proportion  of  twelve- 
sixteen — as  for  example,  six  graduate  and  eight  upper  division — when  he  takes 
both  upper  division  and  graduate  courses. 

Grades  for  courses  in  the  Graduate  School  are  indicated  by  A-excellent,  B- 
superior,  and  C-satisfactory  at  the  graduate  level.  The  lowest  passing  grade  is  C. 
A  course  in  which  an  unsatisfactory  grade  has  been  received  must  be  repeated. 

To  secure  graduate  credit  for  an  upper  division  course  permitting  such  credit, 
the  student  must  obtain  a  grade  of  B  or  better. 

Courses  in  which  work  has  not  been  completed  within  the  period  assigned 
will  be  marked  I-incomplete.  An  incomplete  which  is  not  removed  by  the  mid- 
semester  of  the  following  term  will  automatically  become  a  failure.  No  incom- 
pletes are  given  in  the  summer  session. 

Transfer     of     Credit 

Ordinarily  the  entire  program  for  the  master's  degree  should  be  taken  in 
residence  at  Mount  St.  Mary's  College.  A  maximum  of  six  semester  hours,  how- 
ever, may  be  accepted  on  admission  from  a  recognized  graduate  school.  Special 
petition  for  such  transfer  should  be  made  when  the  student  has  satisfactorily 
completed  twelve  semester  hours  of  graduate  work  at  Mount  St.  Mary's  College. 

Graduate      Study      in      Summer     Session 

The  Graduate  School  offers  a  program  of  courses  in  the  summer  session  which 
will  enable  the  student  to  complete  his  class  work  for  the  master's  degree  in  four 
summers,  although  a  longer  period  is  recommended.  A  fifth  summer  is  required 
for  completing  the  thesis  and  for  the  comprehensive  examination. 

Graduate  students  in  the  summer  session  are  subject  to  the  same  scholastic 
requirements  as  those  in  the  regular  academic  year.  The  maximum  course  load  is 
ordinarily  two  courses;  the  maximum  credit  limit  is  six  semester  hours. 

The  minimum  period  of  residence  for  the  master's  degree  earned  in  summer 
sessions  only  is  five  sessions.  Students  pursuing  all  their  work  toward  the  master's 
degree  in  summer  sessions  may  not  extend  the  period  of  study  beyond  nine  con- 
secutive summers;  otherwise  the  student  loses  credit  toward  the  degree  for  the 
work  completed  more  than  nine  summer  sessions  before  the  date  on  which  the 
degree  is  to  be  conferred.  Any  summer  session  in  which  the  student  fails  to  register 
in  the  Graduate  School  shall  be  included  in  the  nine  summer  session  period. 

Students  who  intend  to  complete  their  work  for  the  degree  entirely  in  summer 
should  fulfill  the  requirements  for  candidacy  at  the  completion  of  twelve  semester 
hours  of  graduate  course  work. 


General  Requirements  for  the  Master's  Degree  19 

GENERAL     REQUIREMENTS     FOR 
THE     MASTER'S     DEGREE 

Credit     Hours 

A  minimum  of  twenty-four  semester  hours  of  course  work  is  required  for 
the  degree  of  Master  of  Arts.  Eighteen  semester  hours  must  be  completed  in  the 
major  field;  six  hours  may  be  devoted  to  a  related  minor  field. 

Thirty  semester  hours  of  course  work  are  required  for  the  degree  of  Master 
of  Music. 

The  student's  program  of  study  will  be  directed  by  the  professor  in  charge 
of  graduate  studies  in  the  major  department,  and  approved  by  the  Dean  of  the 
Graduate  School — the  aim  in  every  case  being  to  give  the  student  a  well-integrated 
program  which  best  serves  his  needs  and  interests. 

Courses 

While  all  of  the  work  counted  toward  the  master's  degree  must  be  of  distinctly 
advanced  character,  the  courses  need  not  all  be  taken  from  the  200  level.  With 
the  approval  of  the  professor  in  charge  of  graduate  studies  in  the  major  field  and 
the  Dean  of  the  Graduate  School,  upper  division  courses  suitable  for  a  well- 
rounded  program  may  be  included.  The  proportion  of  such  courses  that  may  be 
included  in  a  given  program  is  stated  in  the  departmental  requirements. 

No  graduate  credit  is  allowed  for  work  completed  in  extension  or  corres- 
pondence courses. 

Residence     and     Time     Limit 

•  All  courses  toward  the  master's  degree  should  ordinarily  be  taken  in  residence 
at  Mount  St.  Mary's  College.  The  minimum  time  of  residence  for  the  degree  is 
two  semesters,  or  one  semester  and  three  summer  sessions,  or  five  summer  sessions. 
In  practice,  however,  most  students  find  that  three  semesters  are  generally  needed 
to  complete  the  requirements  for  the  master's  degree. 

No  more  than  one  year  should  elapse  between  the  completion  of  residence 
and  the  fulfillment  of  the  thesis  and  comprehensive  examination  requirements. 
The  degree  must  be  earned  within  five  consecutive  years  or  nine  consecutive  sum- 
mer sessions. 

It  is  understood  that  the  work  for  the  master's  degree  may  be  distributed  over 
two  or  more  years  if  the  student  can  devote  only  a  part  of  his  time  to  graduate 
study.  A  student,  however,  may  not  extend  the  period  of  study  for  the  master's 
degree  beyond  ten  consecutive  semesters;  otherwise  he  loses  credit  toward  the 
degree  for  the  work  completed  more  than  ten  consecutive  semesters  before  the  date 
on  which  the  degree  is  to  be  conferred. 


20  General  Requirements  for  the  Master's  Degree 


Students  may  work  concurrently  toward  a  master's  decree  and  a  secondary 
credential.  Such  a  combined  objective  will  generally  require  more  total  semester 
hours  and  longer  residence. 

Graduate     Record      Examination 

The  Graduate  Record  Examination  is  required  for  advancement  to  candidacy 
for  the  master's  degree.  It  should  be  taken  preferably  before  a  student  is  admitted 
to  the  Graduate  School,  or  at  least  during  the  first  semester  of  graduate  study. 

Those  who  have  taken  the  examination  before  application  to  the  Graduate 
School  should  request  the  Educational  Testing  Service,  4640  Hollywood  Boulevard, 
Los  Angeles  27,  California,  to  send  an  official  transcript  of  their  test  record  to  the 
Dean  of  the  Graduate  School. 

Foreign      Language     Examination 

All  candidates  for  the  degree  must  pass  a  reading  examination  in  a  foreign 
language,  usually  French  or  German.  This  examination  should  ordinarily  be 
taken  within  the  first  semester  of  graduate  work,  or  before  the  end  of  the  second 
summer  session  for  those  in  the  summer  sessions  only. 

Candidacy 

To  be  eligible  for  candidacy  for  the  master's  degree,  the  student  must  have — 

1.  achieved  satisfactory  results  in  the  Graduate  Record  Examination 

2.  passed  the  foreign  language  examination 

3.  completed  twelve  semester  hours  of  graduate  work  with  a  satisfac- 
tory average 

4.  had  his  thesis  topic  approved. 

Thesis 

All  candidates  for  the  Master  of  Arts  degree  are  required  to  write  a  thesis 
under  the  direction  of  a  major  professor.  This  thesis  provides  an  opportunity  for 
the  student  to  obtain  firsthand  experience  in  research  methods  under  competent 
direction.  The  topic  for  the  thesis  should  be  limited  in  scope  and  give  evidence 
of  the  student's  ability  to  organize  knowledge,  to  analyze  critically,  and  to  present 
the  results  in  a  readable  and  accurate  form. 

A  brief  description  of  the  topic  and  of  the  proposed  method  of  investigation 
must  accompany  each  thesis  topic  presented  to  the  Graduate  Council  for  approval. 

The  candidate  must  present  his  completed  thesis  to  his  major  professor  not 
later  than  the  middle  of  the  term  in  which  he  expects  to  complete  his  work  for 
the  degree.  It  must  be  approved  by  his  thesis  committee,  then  be  typed  according 
to  the  prescribed  form.  Two  copies  must  be  filed  with  the  Dean  at  least  one  week 
before  the  date  on  which  the  degree  is  to  be  conferred. 

The  thesis  must  follow  a  prescribed  format  in  regard  to  literary  style  and 
typing  regulations.  Specific  directions  regarding  the  format  and  typing  of  theses 
may  be  obtained  from  the  Graduate  School  Office. 

When  the  candidate's  thesis  has  been  finally  approved  by  his  committee,  he 
should  file  a  formal  application  for  the  degree  at  the  Graduate  School  Office. 


General  Requirements  for  the  Master's  Degree 


21 


Comprehensive     Examination 

After  the  thesis  has  been  approved,  the  candidate  will  be  admitted  to  a  com- 
prehensive examination  in  the  major  field.  This  examination  is  designed  to  test 
the  candidate's  control  of  his  major  field,  rather  than  course  material. 

The  comprehensive  examination  does  not  take  the  place  of  course  examinations, 
Permission  to  take  the  comprehensive  examination  will  be  given  provided  all 
course  requirements  have  been  fulfilled  and  the  thesis  has  been  approved  by  the 
major  professor  and  reader. 

The  comprehensive  examination  may  not  be  taken  more  than  twice,  and  the 
time  limit  between  the  two  attempts  will  be  determined  by  the  major  department 
in  consultation  with  the  Dean. 

Proficiency  in  the  minor  work  will  be  tested  by  the  regular  written  examina- 
tions of  each  course.
